Tan Heqian also agreed with his mother's opinion. He felt that, if he were to be in the shoes of He Zhilan's husband, his father had painstakingly raised a girl and treasured her for over a decade, and then he marries this girl. But one day, the girl says she wants to find her birth parents, and moreover, these birth parents live in the city and have some status. In Tan's position, he too, would worry the girl might leave this family for good.
He Zhilan was somewhat hesitant. She didn't know whether hiding the fact that she was looking for her biological parents from He Teng, waiting until she had really found them to tell him, would anger him? Would he think she was being petty? Believe that she was keeping secrets from him?
And if she informed her family? Would her adoptive father worry she might truly leave the He family? What about her aunt? Would they believe her to be ungrateful, using the He family as a stepping-stone?
